Chapter 277 Dreams and Glory
For Todai, the biggest worry is what to do if the technology is reverse engineered.
The gap in core technology that we had finally mastered was narrowed down like this.
This is an outcome that China cannot accept.
Secondly, it is used in the military field.
We are all thousand-year-old foxes, so who doesn’t understand who?
Once this loophole is opened, West China University of Technology will be able to monopolize all of East China University of Technology's room-temperature superconductors and not give any to its allies.
"My opinion on this is superficial, because I am not an expert in economics or politics.
I just give some suggestions based on my personal intuition." Chen Yuanguang said.
This is also his true thought.
Ask me something and I will give you a solution from the perspective of problem solving.
"Yuan Guang, what do you think of the voices in society now that say we should improve welfare benefits and protect the basic benefits of the working group?"
There have always been similar voices, but the situation has been better in recent years compared to before. At least labor arbitration generally favors workers.
The migrant worker group is even more protected, which is much better than the migrant worker group that was often in the news for wage arrears more than a decade ago.
Nowadays, there are more news reports about small and medium-sized entrepreneurs being owed payments.
However, this progress is not fast enough compared with China's economic development.
"I think it makes sense. What everyone pursues is a happy life.
But this is a dilemma. Many times, if you choose to guarantee welfare, it may affect the employed population.
If we choose to guarantee the number of jobs, we cannot guarantee benefits.
Because I also run a business myself, I am very aware that many companies are actually struggling to break even, and the money they probably make is from exploiting their employees.
If they are not allowed to exploit, they will go bankrupt, which will result in everyone not only losing their welfare benefits but also losing their jobs.
I think this is a multiple-choice question. It depends on how big the pie can be in the future. When the corporate profit margin reaches a certain level, I think we should force companies to give up more welfare benefits to individuals.
This is a gradual process, but we cannot make endless concessions to businesses.”
After Chen Yuanguang finished speaking, he was silent for a moment and then continued:
"I think we can take two steps now."
Supervise those companies that perform well in terms of profits, and require them to strictly abide by labor laws and ensure that employees have normal 9-to-5 work, two days off a week, and holidays.
For enterprises with poor profit situation, the state will provide tax rebates to their employees and directly sponsor their employees financially.
Now that the third phase of the Golden Tax System has been completed, this should be possible.
It benefits almost all the working population.
Those who can enter good companies will be guaranteed rest time, and those who enter not-so-good companies will be given financial support at the national level."
“It’s a very good suggestion, but of course there are still some problems. The business conditions of the companies we know about are different from the actual business conditions of the companies.
This standard is difficult to define.
But I will seriously consider your suggestion and let the experts at the think tank study it.”
Chen Yuanguang didn’t know whether his proposal would be adopted, but he felt that he had fulfilled his obligations.
The solution he proposed is already the one with the lowest cost.
“The original plan for today was to do a return live broadcast after the annual speech a few days ago, and by the way, help Xiaomi promote its products and chat with everyone.
Last night my junior brother said he was coming to Yanjing and asked me if I wanted to have dinner together.
My junior brother is often referred to as the God of Light. He is also a top scientist, entrepreneur and engineer in China, and a long-term partner of Xiaomi Auto.
We had a meal together, and there was also my junior brother’s wife, Lin Jia, who worked at Xiaomi for two years and went out to build her own car. The three of us had a meal together. After the meal, I told my junior brother that I would be broadcasting live tomorrow, and asked if he wanted to come and broadcast with me, so that we could chat with netizens.
Everyone knows that the junior brother does more and says less, and it is rare to hear him speak himself.
Only when encountering some public opinion crisis or some key technological breakthroughs, my junior fellow student might accept an interview and say a few words.
He agreed, so on my way home that night I asked our colleague in charge of the live broadcast to change the topic.
They made several versions, such as dialogues with big names, peak dialogues, and even light and electricity were produced for me.
Either it's too formal, like a TV interview. I hope it's a relaxed occasion where everyone can relax a little. Or it's too nonsensical.
The final title was still my idea, called Dreams and Glory. "
Lei Jun pointed to the background board behind him, on which were printed the words "Dream and Glory".
Lei Jun is a top star on Tik Tok, or he is a top star on every social platform.
Even without any advance notice, there were still a lot of people coming to watch.
This time, he started broadcasting half an hour earlier than the originally scheduled time.
The purpose is to tell the audience that the theme of this live broadcast has been changed and there will be no sales of goods.
"Fuck, go call my friend to come and see."
"Has my God of Light finally arrived?"
"Mr. Lei is so powerful that he can even invite the God of Light to do a live broadcast."
"I saw Lao Zhou making a video on TikTok and he said that only Lei Zong could invite Guang Shen to live stream with him."
Almost in an instant, the number increased by 50,000.
“It will officially start in half an hour. Let me talk to you all in advance. My junior and I made an appointment at ten o’clock, so there are still more than twenty minutes left.
Some netizens asked me to give rewards, saying that they were not for me but for my junior fellow student.
I'll ask him for his opinion then." Lei Jun said with a smile as he looked at the comments on the screen in front of him.
After he finished speaking, the comments were all:
"Who cares about these three melons and two dates?"
"The God of Light still wants a reward? Who are you looking down on?"
Of course, there are also people who want Lei Jun to open a reward channel.
"Hurry up and give me a reward. I want to show my appreciation to you."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, I can't wait, I can't wait to brush the Ferris wheel for the God of Light."
"When he comes, I'll ask for his opinion. If he says we can open it, then we can open it."
“Can we ask questions in the barrage? Yes, we have reserved time for that.
Today we are mainly just chatting. If there must be a theme, it would be this: dreams and glory behind me.
I still hope to talk to my junior about his dreams, what he is doing recently, how his space mining is going, and whether he has any suggestions for everyone.
How's his car made?
The brand he and Musk founded is called Space. Actually, I am not worried because their target of competition is not Xiaomi.
They are benchmarking against Porsche. Xiaomi is only benchmarking against Porsche in terms of user experience. They want to benchmark against Porsche in terms of price.”
Of course Chen Yuanguang did not arrive on time; he arrived about ten minutes early.
After entering the live broadcast room, Lei Jun stood up to greet him, "Junior brother, welcome!"
